Artist Vaginal Davis’ first major solo exhibition “Vaginal Davis: Magnificent Product” at Moderna Museet and other venues in Stockholm celebrates her pioneering and incredibly diverse oeuvre, from the early days of queer punk in 1970s Los Angeles to the Rote Insel in present-day Berlin.
Hear her in a conversation with curator Hendrik Folkerts during the opening day of the exhibition.
